dutasteride not working after 1 year Hi, Sad to report the result, I have been on dutasteride for almost 1 year now at 0.5mg everyday. Things have not improved at all. Loss is continuing. I was on Propecia for 3 years with good result. Then one day it just stopped working so I switched to dutasteride one year...

Hello... Just need to vent off frustration and depression!!! I finally have to admit to f*****g losing this male pattern baldness battle. Also, for those wanting proof that something other than DHT causes male pattern baldness (i.e. Testosterone), I am the living proof of it. I have been on dutasteride for 6.5 months now and though...

I have been busy...but just want to let all those survey fillers know that you will see the results... As of this moment, there are total of 40 respondents, of which 30 fill in the length of dutasteride usage. So, it's only those 30 that counts. Of that, about 14 are longer-term users (6+ month)...

hi iamnaked... I know its sounds wierd. I guess I made this connection from reading another post (and I have been running a survey...pls. see thread). I have come acrossed two people mentioning difficulty sleeping, disrupted sleep. So, when this happened to me, I link it to Avodart. I...

Hi.. I have been on dutasteride for 3 months. It was fine until last 3 weeks -- I started having trouble falling asleep. Now even when I feel really tired, I still couldn't fall asleep. Sleeping pills doesn't even seem to be working for me!!!! And because I cannot sleep, now I feel tired all the...

In this edition, I want to report ALL side effects reported by all dutasteride users that have filled in survey. Of 24 responses, the following are "incidents" of side effects reported. Note these are not mutually exclusive -- some respondents have more than 1 side effects. You can read verbatim...

Gents, I was traveling over past few days. But here's more updated survey results. Note that in this edition, I will only show results of longer-term dutasteride user (i.e. those with 6 month+) as I think it's mor relevant and it's so darn time-consuming to compile!!!! BUT, please keep up the...

I read on the main page somewhere a while ago that HairLossTalk.com will pull together results of AVO survey of forum users? Or should I just go to Survey Monkey and post something there?

I do have the same problem.... I think there may be a strong linkage with increased scalp oiliness and male pattern baldness progression. However, I have yet to find strong scientific studies backing whether it's causal (increased sebaceous glands activities causing male pattern baldness) or it's just correlated (something...

You don't see bald alcoholics because they are all dead!!!!

Check out this website from American Thyroid Association http://www.thyroid.org/professionals/pu ... lsons.html Apparently there's no strong scientific basis for this Wilson's syndrome. Don't get me wrong, but it seems like a lot of the posters here have symtoms uncommon to normal male pattern baldness...
